Default Window still works, but.....

Maybe someone out there can help me with a window problem. I was sending the window up on the driver side and when it reached the top it made a clunk. I knew something didn't sound right. Now when I send it down it growls like its skipping, but it does go down. Going up is smooth all the way. Same thing every time I try it. I wondered if any one out there has had the same problem. I want to get this fixed before it breaks for sure. Thanks

The window system regulator is composed small cables and it is possible that one of the cables is fraying, Just a guess.

Yep.

Mine does the same thing.

Going down is fine, but grinds when it goes up.

I have a 95 GMC Sierra and the windows work just fine. Wish they made our Corvettes like that old truck.
